The reactor was fed with a feed stream (pieces of the textile waste material) at a mass flow of 10.4 t / h at 1 bar(abs) and 100 °C. The feed stream comprises 52.3 weight-% carbon, 5.3 weight-% hydrogen, 40.2 weight-% oxygen, 0.6 weight-% nitrogen and 1 .6 weight-% ash. Additionally, a gasification agent was injected into the reactor, enabling a gasification reaction at a temperature of 1350 °C, the gasification agent being steam with a mass flow of 1 t / h at 5.4 bar(abs) and 180 °C, which forms a plasma at the plasma torch outlet of the reactor.

The resulting raw synthesis gas, comprising CO, H2O, CO2, H2, N2, NH3 and ash leaves the reactor via the gas outlet and was washed and dried to reduce the amount of water and ash. Slag was however removed from the reactor directly. After washing and drying, the synthesis gas had a temperature of 25 °C and was subjected to acid gas removal, by amine scrubbing, to separate acids like CO2 with a mass flow of 0.003 t / h from the raw synthesis gas. The obtained (clean) synthesis gas comprises 49.7 volume-% H2 and 50.3 volume-% CO, at a total mass flow of 11 .4 t / h. Subsequently, said stream was subjected to a separation stage, using a cold box, for obtaining CO in a gas stream S3 and H2 in a gas stream S4.Example 2The second example comprises a high steam plasma gasification of textile waste, originated from textiles, in a plasma reactor (gasifier).

The gaseous stream F1 comprising one or more of O2, CO2, and steam is introduced into PR(c) together with one or more of F2(b-1 ), F2(b-2) and F2(b-3) and subjected to partial oxidation at a temperature in the range from 1000 to 2000 °C and a pressure of at least 1 bar(abs), obtaining a raw synthesis gas stream S1 comprising CO, H2, CO2, H2O, solid particulates, and optionally H2S. F2(b-1 ) is obtained after shredding and / or cutting in SCU(b-1 ) the textile waste material (TWM). F2(b-2) is obtained after sorting in S(b-2) the pieces of textile waste material comprised in F2(b-1 ), this is the reject stream, while F(R) comprises recyclable polymers such as PA6, PET and / or cellulose-material. F2(b-3) is obtained after the recycling of F(R) in CRP(b-3), which produces P(R) comprising one or more oligomers and / or monomers from the recyclable polymers such as caprolactam, glucose, TPA and / or DMT. The stream S1 is then subjected to a purification stage (PS(d)) to remove the solid particulates, water, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide if present, for obtaining a purified gas stream S2 comprising CO and H2, S2 being depleted in CO2, H2O and solid particulates compared to S1. The purified gas stream S2 is then subjected to a separation stage SS(f) for obtaining a stream S3 comprising CO and a stream S4 comprising H2. Prior to be separated in SS(f), the CO to H2 molar ratio in the purified gas stream S2 can be adjusted according to the industrial need (cf. (e)). The streams S3 and / or S4 or a portion of S3 and / or S4 can then be subjected to a chemical conversion or sequence of chemical conversions in CCU(g)) for obtaining one or more chemical products that can be used for textile production in TPU. The obtained textiles eventually will become textile waste material together with the scraps and so on from the textile industry. Hence, the process according to the pre-sent invention permits to optimize the loop in order to render the textile industry more sustainable in view of the use of all the textile waste material, and not only the valuable recyclable polymers, but also the rejects and residue fractions, in order to produce new polymers and new textile materials.Cited LiteratureWO 2023 / 28014 A1EP 0 575 860 A1EP 0 568 882 A 1WO 96 / 8614 A1WO 96 / 18612 A1WO 2023 / 187045 A1WO 2023 / 187049 A1WO 2023 / 187036 A1WO2023 / 187043 A1Elaine Barnard et aL, Chemolytic depolymerisation of PET: a review, Green Chem., 2021 , 23, 3765Ademola Bolanle Raheem et aL, Current developments in chemical recycling of post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate wastes for new materials production: A review, Journal of Cleaner Production 225 (2019) 1052-1064Daniel Paszum et aL, Chemical Recycling of Poly(ethylene terephthalate), Ind.
